About
The Google Creative Fellowship places emerging talent on dedicated creative teams at Google, gaining exposure and hands-on experience across many of their in-house creative departments. The 6-month paid program aims to provide an enriching experience, while ushering in a dynamic network of creative talent with fresh perspectives and a strong “maker-first” approach. You must be a new professional, meaning that you will have graduated once the Fellowship starts and you have 5 years or less of work experience. Learn more and apply here.
The program will run from June 2026 to December 2026. Submissions of interest are due by March 23rd, 5pm (PST). Shortlisted candidates will be informed their advancement by mid-April, and a 3rd party employment agency will contact finalist candidates for next steps in early May.
Projects
The Creative Fellowship experience differs across participants. Each Fellow will be placed on a Google creative team and work on real projects under that team’s guidance. Here are a few projects that past Creative Fellows have worked on, across four teams: Brand Studio, Creative Lab, Google Cloud Brand & Creative, and YouTube Creative Studio.
Requirements
The program is for emerging creative thinkers (0 – 5 years of experience) who have a clear point of view and passion for making things and telling stories. Google is looking for individuals excited to bring their unique voice and craft to their creative teams.
